Products
Intercell’s first product available on the market is a Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, which was approved in the U.S. (FDA), Europe (European Commission), Canada (Health Canada) and Australia (TGA). Intercell has also a strong component of innovation in its pipeline but allows room for manoeuvre if a product doesn’t pass all the phases. In clinical development the company is testing products such as Travelers’ Diarrhea Vaccine Patch, S. aureus vaccine and Pseudomonas vaccine. In the pre-clinical development the company is testing a Pneumococcus vaccine, a Group A Streptococcus vaccine and a Lyme Borreliosis vaccine.

Intercell partnerships
Intercell has started strategic partnerships with a number of global pharmaceutical companies like Novartis, Merck & Co., Inc., Wyeth, and Sanofi Pasteur, all due to its technology platforms: the Antigen Identification Program ©, the adjuvant programs including IC31© and the needle-free Vaccine Patch Technology. In 2008, the company acquired the U.S.-based Iomai Cooperation which enriched Intercell’s R&D pipeline of innovative projects like the Travelers’ Diarrhea Vaccine Patch and the Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Enhancement Patch.
